"Phoebe? Wake up!"
I am rudely woken from a lovely dream of me and Daniel and strawberries. It's... delicious, or it was. Mum sits by me as I wake up and rub my eyes, God I'm tired! "It's ten thirty sweetie, but seeing as it's your birthday I thought I'd let you have a lie in. Are you alright? You look tired," asked my Mum, not letting me get a word in edge ways. I sleepily nod and think back to Daniel and last night and I start to smile.
"I'm wonderful," I smile and she kisses my head. It feels somehow as if I'm eight again, but I feel more mature after last night. Mmm... last night. I can't stop smiling! What is wrong with me?! Mum leaves my room, satisfied that I am alright due to last night and Ian. Oh, Ian. You hadn't thought about him for ages! Why now? I ask myself. I shake my head and make my way downstairs to be greeted by Ted, Bryony, Mum and Dad smiling and holding out presents. This is weird, why are they all of a sudden around me all the time? I don't mind the attention, and quite frankly I enjoy it. It's just strange with my family.
"Here you go, Sis," says Ted, holding me in a big brotherly bear hug. I smile and choke dramatically as he lifts me off the floor.
"Thanks," I murmur, catching my breath. He holds hands with Bryony and smiles like a child, whilst Bryony smiles softly at me. She really is stunning and very attractive. Ted did am good job! I open the present and in a small grey satin box is a bracelet full of little charms. A '22', a ballet shoe, a car (as he remembers me about my car maniac moment) and a small heart. I love it! It's so stunning, yet simple and something that I would've chosen for myself. I grab him and hug him tightly, careful not to drop my bracelet. "Thank you so much!" I say as I walk to Bryony to hug her next. She is taken aback by my causality and informality but she hugs at arms length back.
"Here's yours from your Mum and me," says my Dad and he hands me a small red box. I shake the box and there's a rattle inside and I have no idea what it is. I open it and inside is a key, a car key.
"Happy birthday, honey. And congratulations," says Dad and I grab him in a large hug.
"How did you afford - " I then stop in my tracks as he raises an eyebrow and smirks at me. Of course he can afford it, he can practically afford anything he wants! I smile and hug him again, and then moving to my Mum and hugging her.
Dad takes me outside and there it is, the beauty parked before me. A Aston Martin DB9 in a pale blue and it looks amazing, brand new and chique. I cannot wait to drive it! I jump up happily and run around to the drivers door to open it, and I slide in. Inside, it's just perfect. Comfortable and full of amazing gadgets. I just can't believe it! It's amazing! I can drive around on my own now! I hope. I jump out of the car and run at my Dad, hugging him tightly in my arms and kissing his cheek hard and he chuckles, hugging me back. I can't believe how lucky I am.
I leave everyone down stairs to eat breakfast as I journey to my bedroom to have a shower and dress. As I reach my room, I feel someone behind me and a smile sweeps across my face.
"Morning, beautiful," I hear murmuring in my ear. I shiver as his whisper echoes through my mind. I turn to see Daniel with his arms wrapped around me and he kisses the corner of my mouth quickly. I smile and open the door, dragging him in with me so we can continue the kiss in private. I wrap my arms around him and kiss him passionately and hard, throwing in all my heart into this kiss. I push him into the door and he lets out a gasp as I push him further using my groin.
"Are you alright?" I ask, frowning and he laughs.
"Yeah... the erm, door-knob got in the way," he whispers and he moves to one side and I giggle. I continue to kiss him a little softer, fisting his soft messy hair. He groans deep in his throat and I sigh heavily into his mouth as he does so. Suddenly, we hear a buzzing and his wrist starts to talk.
"Johnson. You're needed in my office." I hear Taylor's voice clean and cut through the radio and I sigh, sad that he's leaving me alone and wanting. He closes his eyes and lets me go, sighing. He brings up his wrist to his mouth.
"I'm on my way," he says clearly and he presses a button, switching off the radio. "I've got to go, but I'll see you later, OK?" he whispers, smiling beautifully.
"OK," and I feel a stab of disappointment knowing that I wont see him alone for a while. I kiss him again and he sighs, pushing me away slightly.
"If I keep kissing you, I'm never going to leave," he whispers and I smile, kissing the corner of his mouth and then opening the door ajar, and the coast is clear. He leaves after kissing me quickly on the lips and then heads down the corridor and I smile. I can't believe it. He's amazing, sexy, gorgeous and everything I need and want! I'm so lucky... I really like him too. More than I did Ian. But we've only known each other for at least three days. Can you really go so fast into a relationship? I knew Ian for six months and we didn't even have sex. Maybe it's because this guy actually likes you back and doesn't want anything sexual from you. All he wants is Phoebe, so don't change anything! I smile and think, maybe he does like me for who I am? It brightens my day just a little bit more; but I doubt anything can make this day any better.
